Willowridge High School           Summer Reading 2019

Please select from the titles listed below for the summer reading assignment. When you return to Willowridge to begin your English III or English IIIAP course, you should be prepared to discuss the book, using specific textual evidence to support your assertions about the novel. I also recommend researching the author perhaps to gain insight into the impetus for the book.
